Journal

Starbucks journal.

I was walking in the Mall, saw an opportunity and I took it. Saw the terms and conditions and I am eligible to earn it. I called it a free gift from Starbucks. Leather pouch with planner inside of it.

The requirement to earn the free gift?

Top-up some cash (1 million IDR) into Starbucks card.

I mean It has no expiration date, and no charge fees.

Oh, I love so much being an opportunist!
The cons: you cannot liquidate the money once you topped up into Starbucks card.

However, i don't see that as a problem. When there's a meeting, gathering or teamwork, i always suggest them "How about Starbucks?" Everyone loves the idea. bought every person a drinks using my card, and let them transferred into my bank account. Voilà.

Acquired back the money + lovely leather pouch.

Here's come the new problem. I do not like to write and now i have a new planner. Full of blank pages left me with "What should i write!?"

I do not know what to write, but i keep a promise to myself that i'm going to do it.

"The beginning is always the hardest. Doesn't mean you have to quit right away. Instead, you can force yourself to get out from comfort zones, and learn something new everyday."

I started writing a diary every week.

Sometimes the pages are full of writings before the month ends. 

Sometimes I teared the page out. Some pages i left it blank. 

At some point when things get hard and does not according to the plan, I stopped writing for a while. Somehow I notice the pattern, my writing got better if i do not have to worry about anything. Night time where everyone already asleep. 

A peaceful moment to live by.

At some point, i also realized what i write affects on what i am doing in the real life. Maybe writing is one of the way to express the emotions. That's why i teared some pages out, simply because i not allowed anger and negativity to grow within me. 

even my writing not really appealing for the reader, i am feeling slightly better.

Thank you for reading.
